FAQs

Victorian silver frequently incorporates ornate, highly detailed repousse and chased ornamentation, often drawing inspiration from historicism, flora, and fauna.

These pieces were traditionally handcrafted from sterling silver sheets, shaped using hammering, chasing, and repousse techniques, and often lined with wood, silk, or velvet.

Authenticity is verified through hallmark stamps indicating the makers mark, standard silver purity (such as the lion passant for sterling), the assay office, and a date letter.

Positioning the item on a dressing table, mantelpiece, or coffee table introduces metallic texture and historic contrast to modern spaces.

Clean gently with a soft microfibre cloth and specialised silver polish only when necessary, avoiding abrasive materials that can damage fine chased details.
